Driver Training Vehicle

The mission changes - so does BOXER

In the driver training module the instructor has the possibility to access the same information provided to the driver trainee on a separate Drivers Control and Display Unit. In addition, he can control the vehicle in special situations using the brakes, gas, gear shift and steering.
Driving behaviour, total weight and centre of gravity of the BOXER Driver Training Vehicle are almost unchanged with respect to other BOXER variants; thus the trained driver will require no additional familiarization when changing over to the service vehicle. In a first batch the German Army ordered 10 BOXER Driver Training Vehicles.
